Next 911 Race Car Mid-Engine? What?

[Racer Boy]

The IMSA prototype Corvette is as much a Corvette as a NASCAR Toyota is a Camry. It's a name only.

The GT cars, however, are somewhat production based, and have to have the same chassis layout and engine structure.

Porsche is like Harley Davidson in that they are both stuck with an obsolete design (911 = rear-engine chassis, H-D = air-cooled 45 degree V-Twin engine) that their faithful customers will not give up on.
